Zumberge counts on his four vice presidents
By Roseanne Tellez and Beth Laski
Assistant City Editors
When James Zumberge became the president of the university in 1980 he began work on a plan to revise the structure of the administration. Today, after nearly five years of changes, his vision of a central "Office of the President" has been realized.
The centerpiece of the structure is a body that includes not only Zumberge, but four senior vice presidents who oversee university relations, academic affairs, administration, and the newly created office of business affairs.
There always has been a business affairs department, but it formerly fell under the jurisdiction of the senior vice president for administration.
The most recent change in the administration's structure was last Friday's appointment of Anthony Lazzaro, the former vice president of business affairs, to the new position of senior vice president for business affairs.
The structure also got a new head of its administrative department on Friday, when Lynn Hutton replaced Jon Strauss as the senior vice president of administration.

Touton Hall, the university's oldest and best-known — and, according to its inhabitants, best-loved — residence hall, will not be available for student occupancv for the
1986-87 academic year, and perhaps not ever again.
In a memo deposited in all Touton mailboxes Monday afternoon, William Thompson, the director of Housing and Residence Halls, announced to the residents in the all-male building that thev would have to find different housing beginning this fail.
Thompson wrote, "Plans for the renovation or use of the building are not finalized at this time, but it is certain that the building will be closed for the next academic vear."
But the nearly 200 residents are not moving without a fight.
Thev have formed an ad hoc Committee for the General
Outlook of Touton Hall, that is headed by Kevin Tullv, a resident and a freshman history major.
The group also plans to hoid a demonstration against its ouster and to ask that they be allowed to move en masse into a future university aquisition.
Touton resident advisor David Dodds, a senior and four year resident of the hall, acknowledged that the latter proposition "has practicallv no chance of happening.''
Dodds also said that the residents are looking into a possibility of buying their own house, or renting several apartments at an off-campus location.
The announcement put an end to speculation which annually surrounds Touton's future leaving its destiny more in doubt than ever.
For many years, at the start of housing registration priority period, the hall — well over 50 vears old — has been the subject of rumors, ranging in extremes from mass renovation to outright razing.
At the moment, either of these alternatives is a possibility; Touton's future has not vet been announced.
"They might turn it into a music center or completely renovate it. If the university renovates it, Thompson says it would be between SI.7 million to 52 million," Dodds said.
The building might also be razed.
"One case is a fifteen-vear thing where thev'd level us, the building next door (The Humanities and Social Sciences Annex) and maybe the Shoenberg Center, and make one big mega-complex building. They don't want to plow money into here just to tear it down," Dodds said.
Of all the possible alternatives, Thompson said that he'd most prefer to see Touton refurbished.
"I'd like to see it renovated, turned into a residence hall again. The question of whether to raze it or renovate it is whether we would need the room.

New VP finds job challenging

Lyn Hutton, the new senior vice president for administration, said her new position sounds “awesome and challenging/' but said she does not feel like she is alone in her responsibility.
Hutton, whose appointment was announced Jan. 10, said she will have the support of "talented” professionals working in various capacities in her jurisdiction within the Office of the President.
"All of these areas of responsibility have what I believe to be talented professionals in them with whom I wall be
working, so it's really going to be a team effort," Hutton said.
Though she is just one of four senior vice presidents in the five-man Office of the President, her responsibilities are quite extensive, giving her partial control of budget and financial planning along with Provost Cornelius Pings.
Hutton does not mind the split in responsibility between herself and the other three vice presidents. Pings, Anthonv Lazzaro, and Roger Olson. "Responsibility is fairly equallv divided," she said. "There's no 'turf or territory' (problem) (Continued on page 9)
Lazzaro praised for dedication

"Through his efforts, and his tireless work with the Community Redevelopment Agency and other community groups, the university changed from a street-car campus to a well-designed residential environment."
This was part of President James Zumberge's description of Anthony Lazzaro's role in the university in a press release last week that followed Lazzaro's appointment as the new senior vice presi-
dent for business affairs.
With the promotion, Lazzaro joins Zumberge and senior vice presidents Lyn Hutton, Roger Olson and Cornelius Pings on the university's powerful Office of the President.
"There's no question that this is a stimulating group that I'm joining," Lazzaro said.
In fact, Lazzaro assumed interim status as senior vice president for administration following Jon Strauss' retirement last
